Nigerian TikTok sensation, Peller, has opened up about his experience of being snubbed by Bose Ogulu, the mother of Grammy award-winning artist, Burna Boy, during a recent event that has since gone viral. Peller was caught in a widely shared video where he offered a handshake to Burna Boy's mother, who appeared to ignore him, leading to mixed reactions from the public.
The video, which quickly circulated on social media platforms, captured the moment where Peller extended his hand in greeting, only to be snubbed by Bose Ogulu, while other guests appeared to receive handshakes from her. This sparked an online debate, with some social media users accusing Peller of inappropriate behavior while others criticized Bose Ogulu for allegedly showing favoritism towards other guests, creating a divide in public opinion.
In response to the backlash, Peller decided to address the incident directly with his fans and followers. During a recent live session on TikTok, he recounted the details of the event, shedding light on his side of the story. Peller revealed that he met Burna Boy’s mother at the premiere of Timini Egbuson’s movie, a significant gathering where the snubbing took place. He mentioned that a close associate of his had informed him in advance that Bose Ogulu would be in attendance. However, despite the awkwardness of the interaction, Peller stated that he wasn’t personally bothered by the snub and that it did not affect him deeply.
Further elaborating on the situation, Peller offered an insight into his personal philosophy regarding greetings and interactions. He explained that he does not shake hands with his own mother, emphasizing that he does not feel the need to greet her in a traditional manner because of the constant support and presence she has in his life. “I don’t shake my mama, even, I don’t greet my mama because she’s always there for me,” he explained during his TikTok live session, clarifying that he wasn’t distressed by the public incident.
While Peller's comments provide a more personal context to the viral incident, the public's reaction to the situation continues to be divided. Some are sympathetic towards him, understanding that the snub may not have been intentional, while others continue to criticize the interaction. The video of the encounter, along with Peller’s response, has generated a significant amount of discussion on social media platforms, and many are watching closely to see if further developments unfold.
